AI Generated Summary
The bill S.F. No. 1132 proposes the creation of a grant program in Minnesota to help ambulance services pay for the training and employment of emergency medical technicians (EMTs). If passed, licensed ambulance services that have had at least 50% of their staff made up of EMTs in the previous year could apply for funding. This money can be used to cover EMT training tuition, certification exam fees, background checks for new EMTs, and the wages and benefits for employees undergoing training. The amount of money an ambulance service can receive will be strictly limited to covering these specified costs, and they must report their use of the funds to ensure accountability. The bill allocates $750,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support this program.
